Comms & Mumble setup

Voice communication and out-of-game pings are mandatory for all members of The Abyssal Requiem. If you are not on comms, you are not in the fleet.

Before starting this guide, ensure you have completed the Auth Registration Guide. You cannot access our comms without an active Auth account.

Discord Setup (Text & Pings)

Discord is our primary hub for text communication, casual chat, and fleet pings.

  1. Log into the [https://auth.abyssalrequiem.net/services/].
  2. Navigate to the Services tab.
  3. Find Discord in the list and click the Checkmark / Link icon.
  4. You will be redirected to Discord to authorize the connection.
  5. Once connected, Auth will automatically invite you to the ARQM server and assign your roles based on your in-game titles.

Note: Do not manually edit your Discord nickname. Auth will automatically sync your nickname to match your EVE Main Character.

Mumble Setup (Voice Comms)

Mumble is our primary voice platform for fleets because of its low latency, high audio quality, and ability to handle hundreds of users in a single channel without lagging.

Step 1: Download & Install

Download the latest version of Mumble for your operating system: Download Mumble Here

Step 2: Get Your Credentials

Mumble does not use your regular Auth password or your EVE SSO. It uses a unique, automatically generated credential set.

  1. Log into the Auth Services page.
  2. Find the Mumble row and click the button to activate the service.
  3. The page will display your Username (usually your EVE Main's name) and a Password.
  4. Copy this password—you will need it in a moment.

Step 3: Connect to the Server

  1. Open Mumble and click the Globe Icon (or Server -> Connect).
  2. Click Add New... at the bottom.
  3. Enter the server details:
    • Address: [Fond on auth pages]
    • Port: [Fond on auth pages]
    • Username: Paste the exact username from your Auth page.
  4. Click OK, then double-click the server to connect.
  5. When prompted, paste the Password you copied from the Auth page. Accept any certificate warnings.

⚙️ Mandatory Mumble Configuration

You must configure the following settings before joining a fleet channel. Go to Configure -> Settings in Mumble (tick the "Advanced" box in the bottom left corner if it isn't already).

1. Enable Push-To-Talk (Mandatory)

Hot-mics (voice activation) are strictly prohibited during fleets.

  • Go to Audio Input.
  • Change the Transmit dropdown to Push To Talk.
  • Go to the Shortcuts tab.
  • Click Add, select Push-to-Talk under Function, and assign a key (Mouse buttons or the Tilde ~ key are highly recommended).

2. Disable Text-To-Speech

By default, Mumble reads aloud every time someone joins or leaves a channel. In a 200-man fleet, this will drive you insane.

  • Go to Messages.
  • Under the Text-To-Speech column, uncheck everything.
  • Alternatively, go to Audio Output and uncheck "Enable Text-To-Speech".

The Mumble overlay often conflicts with EVE Online, causing the game client to crash or freeze.

  • Go to Overlay.
  • Uncheck Enable Overlay.

Coalition Comms (Winter Co / Phoenix)

For joint-deployment fleets, you will need to access coalition comms. The setup process is identical, but you will generate your credentials from the Coalition Auth pages rather than the ARQM page.

Troubleshooting

  • "Wrong Password / Certificate Error": Mumble saves your login token locally. If your Auth password resets, or if you reinstall Windows, Mumble might try to use an old token. In Mumble, go to Configure -> Certificate Wizard -> Create a new certificate and try reconnecting.
  • I can hear people, but they can't hear me! Check the bottom left corner of Mumble. If you have a microphone with a red slash through it, you muted yourself. If you don't see that, go to Audio Input and make sure the correct microphone device is selected from the dropdown menu.
